Anderson Cooper defended himself against reports in The Weekly Standard regarding his past involvement with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). Cooper told Jake Tapper that he moderated a panel for free in 2007 and has no social ties to the Clintons. The hosts dismiss this defense, citing Cooper's background and the likelihood of a "quid pro quo" arrangement for access to high-profile guests.
